We present a preliminary variability index analysis of lightcurves of several thousand M-dwarfs extracted from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Equatorial Stripe. These objects have been subclassed by magnetic activity and spectral type. This analysis will provide the rates of flaring activity as a function of the above parameters as well as characterizing the colors of these stars while active. M-dwarf flare rates will be applicable to next-generation time domain surveys such as the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope by predicting the fraction of observed variable objects that are flaring M-dwarfs and not other cosmological transients.
